章 134: A Heart Settled

He couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts, 'What was this inexplicable heaviness in my chest? I'd never felt this way before, and the unsettling feeling refused to dissipate.'

As Jing Mo carried Xia Xin away, Mo Shu found himself compelled to ask Zhang Chao, "What's the relationship between Xia Xin and Jing Mo?"

Zhang Chao answered nonchalantly, "Who knows? They're probably just good friends, considering both are artists under Sun Hu's management."
